Tom Burke

Tom Burke’s inspiration for Daring Duck came from watching his own children, nieces and nephews as they faced the challenges of trying new things. Through these experiences, Tom realized the importance of nurturing confidence and resilience in young children as they explore the world around them. Rooted in his core values of friendship, fun, optimism, trust, teamwork, authenticity, and kindness, Tom's goal is to create children's stories that captivate readers while also instilling important life lessons. Tom and his wife, Katie, have two children, Tommy and Conor. Daring Duck is Tom's first endevour into children's literature, and he aspires to continue crafting engaging stories that positively impact the lives of young readers.
